TELSA the only dedicated B2B telecoms and ICT event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the patronage of H.E. the Minister of Communications and Information Technology
Riyadh - According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies, ICT is now an everyday part of our lives with 2.4 billion people on the Internet and 6 billion mobile phones worldwide; and Saudi Arabia is one of the most thriving markets with the number of mobile phone users rising by 200 percent reaching 56.1 million subscriptions.
TELSA is under the esteemed patronage of H. E. Eng. Mohamed Jamil Bin Ahmed Mulla, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, and is organized by National Exhibitions Company and Informa Saudi Arabia. The event brings together key players from the local, regional and international private and public sectors to give insights on the future of Saudi telecoms and the ICT segment, making the event an ideal networking opportunity and paving the way for future investment opportunities.
"TELSA, the only dedicated B2B telecoms and ICT event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh from 29-31 January 2012," said said Hussain Al Harthi, Managing Director, National Exhibition Company. "The event's objectives are to present a platform that unites the industry in discussion and debate; to enable a powerful industry voice; and to create a valuable networking, learning and sharing experience for the unique Saudi market."
"There is more to ICT than connectivity and availability whenever and wherever you want it," said Deep Marwaha, General Manager of Informa Saudi Arabia. "For example, ICT promotes mitigation of climate change since modern communications technologies have drastically reduced the amount of paper we use, thus conserving trees, and have almost entirely replaced the traditional postal system for day-to-day communications. Overall, the ICT sector holds huge potential and TELSA, which includes the Telecoms and ICT summit, will explore the vast opportunities that this sector holds."
Participants in TELSA include the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Official Supporter), Mobily (Official Telecom Partner), Ericsson (Platinum Sponsor), LCC (Silver Sponsor), Integrated Telecom (Silver Sponsor), and Comptel (Silver Sponsor) and many more exhibitors, partners and elite speakers.
"Comptel is strongly committed to the Middle East and Africa region where we have experienced a lot of success already and see a lot of potential. We are investing to create more opportunities in order to become a key stakeholder in the regional industry for our customers and partners," said Veqar Islam, Senior Vice President, Middle East Africa. "Bringing together the industry's leading experts, TELSA is the ideal venue for knowledge transfer. For our part, Comptel is participating in both the exhibition and at the Saudi Telecoms and ICT Summit, at which we will be discussing how best to harness the full potential of broadband to drive increased revenue and intelligent bandwidth management for an optimized customer experience."
The Saudi Telecoms and ICT Summit at TELSA will be held alongside the exhibition.
